Chapter 2343 - 2341: Another Stellar Space Has Been Pillaged

Very soon, Lu Ye understood why Su Yan decided to change her mind and accompany him because after the Nirvana of the Phoen Tribe, there was a significant drop in her power.

If calculated according to the cultivation realm of stellar space, Su Yan's current strength was roughly at the level of Moon Jade!

With such cultivation, it was naturally impossible to wander the Star Abyss alone; encountering any Star Abyss living creature would pose a threat to her life.

Therefore, Su Yan had no choice but to follow Lu Ye.

"Senior Brother, don't worry. This state won't last long; within half a year, I can recover to the Enter the Path level." By then, she would have some self-preservation abilities, and with the innate divine ability of the Phoen Tribe, even facing Dao Fusion, she could still escape.

Of course, Lu Ye had no worries. His only thought now was to quickly return to Banlan; taking Su Yan along was not troublesome.

If they really encountered an enemy, he could use his doppelganger to protect her.

Without further delay, they set off on the journey again, but this time Lu Ye was no longer alone. Although Su Yan pretended not to know him, both of them were well aware of the real situation, and as long as Lu Ye didn't expose it, there wouldn't be an issue.

With much of the awkwardness gone, they got along quite pleasantly.

Lu Ye took the opportunity to inquire about some matters concerning the Will of the Star Abyss, but Su Yan didn't divulge much, clearly showing some apprehension.

What she had told Lu Ye before was already the limit. Saying more would certainly attract attention.

Traveling together reduced the loneliness significantly.

Occasionally encountering enemies along the way, Lu Ye easily dispatched them.

And after obtaining the second Star Abyss coin, Lu Ye finally got a confirmed answer from Su Yan.

The claim that becoming the Star Abyss Heir would significantly increase the chance of receiving the Star Abyss Blessing was incorrect or rather just a rumor.

After becoming the Star Abyss Heir, one would not receive the Star Abyss Blessing but instead be replaced with Star Abyss coins.

This point was clearly recorded in the Phoen Tribe's archives.

Of course, if the Star Abyss Heir wanted to gain benefits similar to the Blessing, it was easy because in the treasure vault, Star Abyss coins could be exchanged for a kind of treasure juice, which, once consumed, could achieve the same effect.

This essentially gave the Star Abyss Heir a choice of their own.

Time passed, and the distance to Banlan gradually shortened.

On this day, while soaring through the air, both Lu Ye and Su Yan simultaneously turned their heads to look in a certain direction.

Lu Ye halted his movement because, in that instant, he felt a subtle and mysterious connection as if something was guiding him in the direction his gaze fell upon.

While puzzled, he inadvertently glanced at Su Yan's expression.

She appeared full of sorrow.

"Did you sense it too, Junior Sister?" Lu Ye asked.

Su Yan's appearance clearly showed she sensed something similar to him, but why she was sorrowful remained unclear to Lu Ye.

"Star Abyss Summon." Su Yan gradually spoke, perhaps because of becoming younger, her voice was much clearer than when in the stellar space fragment, "Senior Brother, another stellar space is in peril."

Lu Ye paused for a moment before realizing what was happening: "You mean, the Star Abyss Gate is opening over there?"

The Star Abyss Gate always opens at the breaches in the stellar space, and once it appears, all nearby Star Abyss living creatures are drawn to it.

Lu Ye knew about this before but had never experienced it himself.

Other than his own stellar space, the only other stellar space he encountered was the Cover Armor stellar space, and that was because the Spectral Sedan Chair took them there, but by that stage, the Star Abyss invasion was already in its last phase.

"It may not be open yet, but a Star Abyss Gate will appear eventually." Su Yan sighed, turning to look at Lu Ye.

How could Lu Ye not understand her intention?

The Phoenix is compassionate; during the fierce competition among the Star Abyss Heirs, she insisted on guarding a realm alone for the Four-Ears World, resisting formidable foes from every direction.

That was only one realm.

Now it is a Primordial Star Sky in peril.

How could she possibly stand by?

Yet, perversely, her current strength does not allow it!

This period, her cultivation had been recovering, but it would still take time. Presently, she was not much stronger than she was right after her rebirth.

Hence, if anything were to be done, it could only be with Lu Ye taking action.

"Let's go, see for ourselves." Lu Ye didn't hesitate.

Though he was eager to return to Banlan, today's matter couldn't be ignored.

His own stellar space was relatively lucky; before the Star Abyss Gate opened, the Spectral Sedan Chair took them on a trip to the Cover Armor stellar space, allowing Lu Ye and the others to Enter the Path early and learn much about the Star Abyss.

After the Star Abyss Gate opened, they also encountered Yin Luo, who was a secret left by Yang Qing. With her presence at the Star Abyss Gate, no major mishaps could occur.

But other stellar spaces weren't so lucky, the Star Abyss invasion was a catastrophic disaster for all stellar spaces. If Lu Ye lived in such a stellar space, he too would hope for a divine intervention to save the countless lives in the stellar space.

As he progressed forward, the frequency and number of Star Abyss living creatures he encountered noticeably increased.

In the past, it wasn't so easy for Lu Ye to encounter other Star Abyss living creatures.

These were undoubtedly ones nearby who had sensed the commotion of the Star Abyss Gate.

Yet, whenever there was an encounter, Lu Ye never held back, executing them all.

After nearly a month, he brought Su Yan to the destination.

From afar, he observed a part of the Void ahead, where a mass of black mist was gathering, twisting and transforming.

This scene was slightly different from the signs he had seen before the opening of the Star Abyss Gate. Lu Ye remembered that before the opening of the Star Abyss Gate near Yin Luo, it was shrouded in red light.

But whether it was red light or black mist, they were ultimately just different phenomena. What remained the same was that the Star Abyss Gate would open here.

At present, although the Star Abyss Gate hadn't truly opened, the number of Star Abyss living creatures gathered here was enormous. As far as the eye could see, there were Star Abyss cultivators of various races and star beasts of different shapes and sizes.

Chaos everywhere!

This was normal. With so many Star Abyss living creatures congregating together, it would be abnormal if no conflicts occurred, especially since, to them, other Star Abyss living creatures were all resources for their own cultivation and strengthening.

Previously near Yin Luo, before the Star Abyss Gate opened, all Star Abyss living creatures were in a state of chaotic battles, except for the Qing Palace, which remained aloof and undisturbed, because Yin Luo and Uncle Duan were strong enough, and no one dared to disturb them recklessly.

"This Star Abyss Gate should be opening soon." Su Yan sighed slightly as she looked over there.

"What do you plan to do?" Lu Ye asked.

Su Yan remained silent for a while before speaking, "I want to ask you, Senior Brother, to escort me. When the Star Abyss Gate opens, let me enter that stellar space."

Lu Ye immediately understood.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Su Yan intended to enter that stellar space to teach the cultivators there how to resist the Star Abyss invasion.

Faced with unknown dangers, without guidance, that stellar space is bound to pay a tremendously terrifying price to explore and understand the mysteries of Entering the Path.

However, if someone were to teach them, the outstanding among them could quickly gain a certain degree of counteraction against the Star Abyss living creatures.

As to whether they can ultimately preserve the Yiyuan stellar space from being invaded, no one can guarantee it!

Perhaps one day, the Yiyuan stellar space will be corroded, turning into fragments and merging into the Star Abyss, but at least someone once tried.

"Can you go in?" Lu Ye asked.

Although Su Yan is of the Phoen Tribe, strictly speaking, she is considered a Star Abyss living creature. The invasion of the Star Abyss is gradual, and the permeability of the Star Abyss Gate also slowly expands. Initially, only the lowest strength segment of Star Abyss living creatures could enter the stellar space. Over time, those with stronger abilities could gradually enter.

Su Yan was once in Dao Fusion.

"No problem, after Nirvana, my current strength is very low. As long as the Star Abyss Gate opens, I can enter freely."

Presently, Su Yan's cultivation is around Moon Jade, far from Sun Blaze. Even if she recovers to Sun Blaze in some time, passing through the Star Abyss Gate should be feasible.

And this cultivation is considered top-notch in any stellar space. Once inside, she could protect herself effortlessly, and as a pioneer guide in that stellar space, as long as the cultivators there aren't foolish, they would definitely treat Su Yan like a deity, without the slightest negligence.

"Alright, I'll send you in then!" Lu Ye nodded. This matter is quite simple, given his strength, just a slight show-off would deter the Star Abyss living creatures gathered here from acting impulsively.

"But before that, we can't just wait idly." Lu Ye appeared thoughtful.

"What is Senior Brother thinking?" Su Yan asked.

Lu Ye said, "Currently, these Star Abyss living creatures are in a state of chaotic battle. Since that's the case, why not fan the flames, let them fight more fiercely. The more they kill each other, the less pressure you'll face later on."

As for killing all the Star Abyss living creatures here, that's unrealistic. There are just too many of them, and more continue to gather from all directions. Even if Lu Ye kills this current batch, more will arrive in the second or third wave, unless he can, like Yin Luo, stay here for years.

But that's unrealistic.

Su Yan's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

"No need for thanks between us." Lu Ye casually waved his hand.

Su Yan was taken aback, her cheeks flush slightly; such words were somewhat intimate. Lu Ye might not have realized, but as she had been pretending to have amnesia lately, averting certain matters, she was somewhat sensitive.

Lu Ye didn't notice her abnormal behavior, but was instead observing the chaos over there.

To him, it was rare to witness so many Star Abyss cultivators gathered together, even in the various battle zones within Banlan, they couldn't gather such numbers.

Even if ninety-nine percent of them are in Enter the Path, the sheer numbers mean numerous Dao Bones…

His Dao force reserve had been heavily borrowed by Su Yan through numerous prior battles, though not exhausted, it's down to just a few thousand, partially from enemies defeated during this period.

This provides an opportunity to replenish his use of Dao force.

Therefore, what needs to be done next is both to help the invaded stellar space and for his own benefit as well.
